will my wheels fit a 2008 x

I have a spare set of blitz type 03 in my basement from my rx7. Will they fit my G sedan.

18x8 +45 offset
18x9 +45 offset. what size tires can i run if I want to run staggered? thanks. I might just test fit them. I have 225 / 265s on pilot 02s on them now but I threw a check engine code after my sub install. I need to clear that up first.

If you want more width 245/45R18 and 275/40R18. If less width and a slightly lower profile is your style 225/45R18 and 255/40R18. Either of these sizes are nearly identical front to rear and will work fine on an X. Those offsets are a little high IMO and I would get spacers if it were me. But if the factory stance (offset wise) is what you're after you should be good to go.

bolt patter is the same as the x. 5-114.
I have pilots 2 with some meat left on them @ 225/40 and 265/35 will these work for now till i get new ones or I can just order new tires.
I might just get new tires b/c I have to refinish these wheels to a different color. I might go black with a polished lip. they look like this now. custom gunmetal color but I have baked on brake dust from track days. they are heavy as hell though they will do b/c I'd rather get coils instead of new wheels.

what kind of spacers? front and rears? what would that help me accomplish? would it fill out the wheel well more? sorry for the newb questions. thanks for all the inputs.

The spacers will make it look less tucked in. IMO your RX looks too tucked for my liking in the rear. And do not run those size tires. The overall diameter is a little too far off from front to back not to mention they'll look really small

thats a nice rx7

since you plan on dropping the car your wheels will tuck in more.

honestly you should drop the car first then see what size spacer you will need.

yeah, that's why I took them o0ff. I spent a lot of coin on them and don't want to waste them sitting in the basement. I will test fit them to see who bad they are. I might threow on the teins first. when you get spacers do you have to get longer wheels studs? I m on my third set on my fd. i am running gramlights with a +38 off set now. I think they look too tucked in b/c I am running a lot of negative camber b/c it's my track car. thanks for the advice.
